Private Passion

Here’s Part 2 of our Brett Weston feature (which began with an article on the Brett Weston Archive in Issue 8), focusing on Scott Nichols and his collection—the largest Brett Weston holding in private hands.

Margo Davis

Whether her subjects are members of the Fulani tribe in Nigeria, the people of Antigua in the Caribbean, or artists, musicians and writers, Davis’ portraits invariably reflect her sensitivity to their culture and her intuitive cognition of their humanity.

Misha Gordin

He closes his eyes and sees the images he will photograph, inspired by memories, dreams and his vision of the world.

Jeff Zaruba

He roams the globe, shooting for hotels, cruise lines, corporate reports and advertising clients. But it’s when he’s done with his assignments in these exotic locales that the real Zaruba emerges, the artist with an eye for lustrous patina and poignant juxtapositions of old and new.

Joe Schwartz

Now nearing 90, Schwartz can look back on six decades of working with his camera in defense of the dispossessed. As a member of the Photo League, he captured life in his own Brooklyn and New York City neighborhoods.

Craig Barber

A Marine in Vietnam, Barber had an urge to take another look at the battlegrounds he remembers from 30 years ago—this time through a pinhole camera.

Chip Forelli

His images are pure and simple, like Zen gardens, composed of just a few uncluttered objects.

Eric Lindbloom

Going from a Diana to a Widelux, his work reflects the extremes from Florence to the Hudson River.

Ion Zupcu

Immigrating from Rumania, where his interest in photography was first awakened, he shot conventional landscapes scenes before discovering his true passion—flowers and vases, delicately rendered.

Gerardo Suter

Toni Schneiders

Surviving a bullet lodged next to his heart, he (and his Leica) emerged after World War Two as one of Germany’s preeminent photographers
